At least 15 people were killed on Wednesday in clashes between Syrian security forces and anti-government protesters in the city of Daraa, CNN reported.
According to activists and witnesses, seven people were killed after dawn prayers near al Omari mosque when security personnel stormed the area where protesters took positions to demand government reforms.
A witness said security forces shot into the crowd in front of the mosque before daybreak. Syrian state TV, however, said armed groups had attacked security forces, killing a doctor, a medical assistant and an ambulance driver. There was also found a dead body of a 12 years old girl.
